Dr. Neal Barnard, president of the Physicians Committee for Responsible Medicine, warned that animal farms could lead to new strains of bird flu. He described these farms as unhygienic, allowing the virus to spread among poultry and dairy animals. Recent bird flu outbreaks have caused egg shortages and price increases in the U.S. Barnard suggested that consumers should avoid buying animal products to reduce the risk of future pandemics. He recommended plant-based alternatives to eggs and chicken. Barnard emphasized the need for stronger measures to prevent dangerous strains of bird flu. He encouraged people to choose egg-free vaccines and consider plant-based options to help mitigate pandemic risks.
